目前,2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)和结核病(TB)是世界各地呼吸道感染的最重要原因之一。两者都是人类健康和生命安全的关注来源。COVID-19导致数百万人死亡,他们中的许多人遭受了所谓的“后COVID尖叫”。免疫抑制是这些症状中最重要的症状之一,这些症状使患者容易受到结核病等严重感染。
UNASSIGNED:在这两种情况下,作者观察到在COVID恢复一段时间后,活动性结核病的发展。两名入院的病人主要抱怨,在其他症状中,COVID-19康复一段时间后出现发烧和持续咳嗽。
UNASSIGNED:放射学检查显示两种情况下的塌陷密度,尽管Ziehl-Neelsen染色结果为阴性,但Gene-Xpert试验证明了结核分枝杆菌的存在。两名患者在标准TB治疗后得到改善。
未经批准:患有COVID-19后慢性呼吸道症状的患者应进行结核病筛查,特别是在结核病流行地区,尽管Ziehl-Neelsen染色的结果是阴性的.
Currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB) are among the most important causes of respiratory infections around the world. Both of them are sources of concern for human health and life safety. COVID-19 caused the deaths of millions of people, and many of them suffered from what has become known as \'post-COVID squeal\'. Immunosuppression is one of the most important of these symptoms that leave patients susceptible to severe infections like TB.
UNASSIGNED: In these two cases, the authors observed the development of active TB after a period of COVID recovery. Two patients who were admitted to the hospital complained mainly, among other symptoms, of fever and a continuous cough after a period of COVID-19 recovery.
UNASSIGNED: Radiological examination revealed a caving density in the two cases, and the Gene-Xpert test proved the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria despite the negative result of the Ziehl-Neelsen stain. The two patients were improved after standard TB treatment.
UNASSIGNED: Patients with post-COVID-19 chronic respiratory symptoms should be screened for TB, especially in TB-endemic areas, even though the result of the Ziehl-Neelsen stain was negative.
